It's almost that time of year

If Hunter, Johnson, Graham, and Carter are all gone, I think the chances are good that it's either T-Mac or James Pearce Jr.

If only 12 guys are truly 1st round talent, and most of them are on the Oline, haha. Maybe we trade back.

Senior Bowl measurables coming in.

Wonder why he changed the title of his site? Use to be Two Growls One Roar. Surely he wasn't stepping on anyone's toes with that name.

I always like when the actual sizes come in.

Arm lengths for lineman, WR's and CB's are always a hot topic


Some of the DL stuff now gives me pause on certain guys and actually opens up a bit of the NT discussion with more players.

Princely at 264 and huge wingspan is great for him.
Butler is as advertised on DLine, but will need to be coached out of bad habits.
Darien Porter as CB will move up because of long arms.

Etc.

 

CBS has come out with their big board, and it's very, very different from PFF's and the consensus one at https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft...ospects-while-shedeur-sanders-lands-at-no-40/

Some notable entries:

• Jalon Walker at 5, while PFF has him at 52. Consensus board has him at 16.
• Mykel Williams at 6, while PFF has him at 18 and consensus has him at 10. I still think he hasn't produced enough to go that high.
• Walter Nolen at 8, PFF has him at 36 and consensus is 27.
• Burden above McMillan
• Pearce at 19, PFF is 9 and consensus is 13.
• Deone Walker at 33, PFF is 74 and consensus is 58. He's someone we might be targeting in the second round, but if CBS is right he will be long gone when we pick.

As I have said before, I am looking forward to seeing these boards start to match up better with each other after the Combine.

 

Daniel Jeremiah has his board out now at https://www.nfl.com/news/daniel-jeremiah-s-top-50-2025-nfl-draft-prospect-rankings-1-0. He has Jalon Walker at six, Williams at 16, Nolen at 26, Pearce at 20, and Deone Walker doesn't make his top 50.

 

Two of the biggest red flags for me are one year college wonders and injured players.
I need multi year consistency and currently not under a doctor's care.

 

With a team as needy as the Panthers, I am not sure I want to sit a 8 and take a WR.

Rather go down to 18, make a pick, get extra 2nd. 3 players in top 57 rather than 2.

On D, Panthers could use:
Dline 2 players
OLB 1 at minimum
LB 1
S 1 minimum
CB 1 I like Jackson and if pass rush gets better, CB's will look better

So or 7 guys at minimum on D

On O, Panthers could use
RB- 1
TE- 1
IOL -1

We have 10 guys minimum we need.

Maybe FA will help, but we are not rich there either
